If you only read this one sentence you will at least get the point that more protein is needed for older active adults to build and maintain muscle for the best of health. Two weeks ago at one of our Chiropractic Conventions I ran into Dr. Catherine from Burtchville MI. We had a good conversation about protein needs for older adults and the inconsistent information available. Older and especially active folks need more protein than their younger counterparts, period. Sometime ago, that may have been considered controversial, but now many experts consider it a fact. I recall reading that a high protein intake resulted in bone loss and put a strain on the kidneys, both are risky for older people. Now it’s been shown that more protein is a benefit for bone health, and getting enough protein is as important as getting enough calcium and vitamin D-3. Higher protein intakes, of up to 35% of daily calories, could be a risk to older people only when they already suffer from some type of kidney function problem. Muscle Loss There is no question that not only do older people progressively lose muscle as they age but also their body resists building new muscle. Starting around age 50, adult muscle loss known as sarcopenia, ranges anywhere from 0.5% to 2% of total muscle mass each year, Now the best news is that after age 50, if you get enough high-quality protein (click here) in the diet, along with physical activity, can help overcome muscle loss and promote muscle gain. However, research shows that for people who are inactive, muscle loss can begin much earlier in age. And, inactivity along with low protein intake, means continued muscle loss with age is a sure thing. Protein is a Nutrient Protein is a nutrient that the body needs to grow and maintain itself. Next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in our bodies. Just about everyone knows that muscles are made of protein. Actually, every single cell in the body has some protein. In addition, other important parts of the body like hair, skin, eyes, and body organs are all made from protein. Many substances that control body functions, such as enzymes and hormones, also are made from protein. Other important functions of protein include forming blood cells and making antibodies to protect...

Did anyone ever ask that question of you? No! Because society has already assumed it comes with age. Pharma speaks of it because of the new band aids they introduce. Why do we have to receive drugs when the toxins in our environment is one of the main causes for Dementia related diseases? When you spend over 30 years of your life as I have done doing health related research, you may ask yourself, “Is now the time to come up with something very special?” Something none drug related, something that attacks the trigger points and may slow down the aging process. Who Should Be Listening? If you’re over 40 to 45 years of age or you’re over 40 and have a family history of dementia related disease like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, then please take note. Our environment and our lifestyles are increasing the probability of a dementia disease unless you start to change or improve how you live. For you, it starts with the Neuron (nerve cell and building block of the nervous system-working unit of the brain) and neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain that transmit signals to cells) and the part they play with cognitive dysfunction. Cognitive Restoration People may not feel as young as they used to, their motivation starts to tank and they may start to not have a pleasurable life and feeling of depression sets in. These conditions come with declining dopamine levels in the aging brain and what inhibits the release. Other factors are the purging of Senescent cells and the role Oxidative stress plays. Understanding the relationships of Glutamate and Glutathione and how inflammation is the trigger of excitotoxicity along with emphasizing the importance of antioxidants. MAO-B (monoamine oxidase) Brain Aging When we are young MAO-B in the brain regulates the correct amount of dopamine. As we age past 45 or so, dopamine levels decline. We now know without question that the main reason for dopamine depletion is the rising levels of the enzyme called MAO-B that inhibits the release of dopamine. Cognitive Dysfunction (Loss of reasoning – brain fog) If nothing is done, you may start to experience cognitive dysfunction which can lead to dementia or related diseases. Why? Part of the answer is mitochondrial damage (powerhouse of the cells, nutrients to energy) where 80 percent of the energy is...

The Supplement Beyond Belief Sometimes in life we do things methodically, no need to hurry, right? Why is there a need to not rush into something even when you know it may be the best thing since sliced bread? Human nature tells us that maybe it’s too good to be true. Well I must tell you that I did all of these things, and it started 3 years ago, when I began to pull out research notes and tried to avoid listening to the hype that...

This is the perfect time of the year to say, “let’s get to the meat and potatoes”. Talk to me… Okay! You hear that most people have a Vitamin D deficiency and you go to your doctor to get a blood test and your blood test results have shown that you are Vitamin D deficient, chances are your doctor prescribed Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) supplements instead of D3 (cholecalciferol). Well the report that I read from The American Journal of...

If you are going to continue or start doing exercise, then understanding basic functions of your body may help. I’m putting a series of Blogs devoted to this subject. A key ingredient to proper exercise is the “change it up method”. Not only changing a routine due to aging but changing to avoid complacency which leads to lack of results or benefits. We know that we get Oxygen two ways, breathing and ingesting Organic Sulfur Click...

This great food source can’t only be about us humans. If you don’t have a wonderful pet by your side but you do in your heart, then please take notice that our canine friends may suffer the same as we do. Development is Under Way. We need your help to put us in contact with people that have a dog that suffers from arthritis. We want to support those for our research project. We will be asking those to take videos of the dog’s gait now...
